I had all but written off political books like this. They are easy reads but at the end of the day, for someone who follows national politics regularly, there isn’t much new learned. I bought this because I really didn’t know much about Don Jr., so I figured what the heck... I am nearly finished and the book has given me a lot of insight into the man and the Trump family.Don Jr. has real potential and comes across as a down-to-earth guy who doesn’t take any B.S. sitting down - a breed on man that is getting smaller by the day I’m afraid. I’ve read a few other DJT books so I know the trump style already (for those who are so baffled by Trumps policies, the need only have read “Time to Get Tough” where he spells out what he would do as POTUS), but this book reinforces it from another family member’s perspective. I enjoyed the behind the curtain talk about what happened on the campaign trail and election night. The rest of the book covers a lot of the never ending B.S. Trump and anyone associated has gone through and the general decline of society as a whole... All topics we hear about day to day but it’s really overwhelming to hear them all in condensed form and should give any reader/listener with any sense a wake up call as to the state of the union and its enmities both foreign and domestic. The book is presented with the same level of sarcasm and humor that I personally give to these topics when talking about them among friends, family and coworkers, so it was refreshing to see Don Jr. feels they deserve the same level of seriousness.

Hook-Up Culture - Explained!

Revisado: 06-12-19

There are a few books that I've read and have changed my outlook on everyday life - this is one of them. This book simply uncovered and explained lots of societal trends that I regularly observe in my younger co-workers, but never gave them a second thought other than to say things like, "Dating is so much different now" and the like. It's like having the curtain pulled back and everything explained.

I docked one start because I thought the chapter about pornography and masturbation was far too lengthy and wrought with just too many statistics. The author made is point, but I'm not sure it couldn't have been made in half the time.

As for the 1-star reviews of this book - I'm really having a problem with claims of "Cherry-picking" statistics. The author says in the introduction what sources he uses, and explains that there are no other comparable data sets available. Those reviewers stopped short of referencing data sets beyond what was supposedly "cherry-picked". The shopper should be weary of claims of "cherry-picking" data - I felt the data presentation was honest and sound - one could argue the inferences he draws from said data, but even that is hard to debate I found - and some of those conclusions went against what I would have thought.

Overall I highly recommend the book - it was an eye-opener!

Very interesting read

Revisado: 03-09-17

The book flew by. Can't wait to get into the next 2 in the series. Lots of meaningful and interesting history of the world in this book. I wasn't sure how I'd like it, but it was great! Reader is very well spoken and has excellent vocabulary and pronunciation of all the historical names and places of several different languages.
